Abstract

Religious Education (RE) in North Macedonia holds a significant place in the country's diverse educational landscape, reflecting the coexistence of various faiths within this Balkan nation. This paper aims to investigate teachers’ attitudes toward the impact of Religious Education on students’ behavior, knowledge, and attitudes, considering factors like gender and school type. The study involved 217 primary school teachers from multiethnic regions in North Macedonia. The Teachers' Attitude Questionnaire (TAQ) was employed for data collection. The findings provide insights into teachers' perspectives on the effects of RE. Overall, teachers express positive attitudes towards RE, with a notable percentage acknowledging its positive influence on students’ attitudes towards various aspects of diversity. However, there is variability in opinions regarding its impact on students’ sense of responsibility and behavior. Teachers also diverge in their views on its role in moral development and tolerance promotion. Regarding demographic factors, there is no statistically significant difference in teachers’ attitudes based on gender. However, teachers in multicultural schools exhibit notably more positive attitudes compared to their counterparts in monocultural schools, suggesting that school environment and diversity play a role in shaping perceptions of Religious Education.

Abstract

Teachers’ intercultural competence is a key factor in the consistent implementation of intercultural principles in teaching practice. The study conducted among primary school teachers in North Macedonia aimed to examine the effect of sociocultural factors on the perception of desirable intercultural competencies for working in multicultural classrooms. 217 primary school teachers from multiethnic regions in North Macedonia participated in the study. The Scale for Assessing Desirable Intercultural Competences (SADIC) was used to collect data. Descriptive statistical procedures were employed in data processing to determine descriptive characteristics, and the comparison of respondents’ attitudes was conducted using the t-test and ANOVA. Additionally, a post hoc test (Scheffe’s test) was performed to determine the significance of the differences. The results showed a significant effect of sociocultural factors on the perception of desirable intercultural competencies. These perceptions range from teamwork skills to motivation for continuous learning and education, non-violent conflict resolution skills, a critical approach to societal events, openness to different cultures, and the ability to see problems from the perspective of culturally different students. This research forms a potential basis for considering the approach to designing a school that is open to diversity.

Abstract

Intercultural education is an important dimension for both teachers and students in their personal and professional development. This research explored the primary school teachers’ views on how intercultural education shapes students' intercultural competence. A 12-item scale from Bedeković’s (2011) Survey Questionnaire (SQ) was administered to 217 primary school teachers in the Republic of North Macedonia. Statistical analyses using T-tests and ANOVA revealed significant differences in teachers' perceptions based on school structure, gender, teaching experience, prior intercultural education and education level. Based on these findings, intercultural education should be further integrated into curricula to enhance students' intercultural competence and better equip teachers for diverse classrooms.

Abstract

In an increasingly diverse educational landscape, understanding how teachers perceive the foundational values of intercultural education is critical for fostering inclusive classrooms and promoting social cohesion. This research investigated whether variables such as gender, level of education, prior intercultural education, teaching experience, and the school cultural structure affect teachers’ views on the values promoted by intercultural education. To explore these relationships, a structured questionnaire was designed and pilot‑tested before full deployment, ensuring clarity and relevance of all items. A 5-point Likert Scale consisting of 8 items was applied to 217 primary school teachers in the Republic of North Macedonia. The Scale’s reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha) coefficient was found to be 0.91. Data collection achieved a 72% response rate, allowing for robust subgroup comparisons across gender, educational attainment, and other factors. T-tests and Scheffé tests were performed to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in teachers’ perceptions based on the investigated variables. Significant differences were observed based on gender, teaching experience, the cultural structure of the school, and prior intercultural education. Detailed post‑hoc analyses clarified which groups differed most markedly, highlighting the impact of targeted training. Teachers believe that intercultural education, above all, promotes “tolerance towards the culturally different”, “reduction of stereotypes and prejudices”, and “coexistence of different cultures”. Drawing on these findings, practical recommendations are offered for policymakers and school leaders. Teachers need permanent training on cultural diversity to sustain and deepen their intercultural competence and to translate these values into everyday classroom practice.
